Description
This 1912 view to the south shows a bend in the railway line, which was giving engineers problems with derailments. Known then as ‘the St, John Street curve’ it was notorious for derailing rolling stock. John Evans of Caedu Crossing House came up with a solution, which was to increase the radius of the bend and the banking on the outside of the curve and was so successful that it remained for the rest of the lines working life.
